The Xenomorph

Hidden Pursuit

"Supposedly responding to a distress signal, the Nostromo's crew landed on LV-426. What they found there became one of humanity's greatest horrors." SPECIAL ABILITY: HIDDEN PURSUIT The Xenomorph has a set of intertwining Tunnels available to it beneath the environment that it can access from any of the 7 Control Stations spawning in the environment. SPECIAL OBJECT: CONTROL STATIONS The Auras of Control Stations are revealed to The Xenomorph in white at all times and within 12 metres to nearby Survivors. SPECIAL INTERACTION: HIGHLIGHTING CONTROL STATIONS Press the Secondary Power button while aiming at any Control Station to highlight it in yellow: • This reveals the shortest path to that Control Station when navigating through the Tunnels. When near an Exit Gate, the nearest Control Station is automatically highlighted. SPECIAL LOCOMOTION: TUNNELS Press the Interaction button at a Control Station to enter the Tunnels: • Grants the Undetectable Status Effect. • Increases its Movement speed to 18 m/s. • Increases the Charge speed of Crawler Mode to +8 c/s. Press it again while beneath the same or another Control Station to exit the Tunnels, which triggers the following effects within 12 metres of the Control Station: • Triggers Killer Instinct for 3 seconds. • Deactivates any deployed Turrets for 2.5 seconds. SPECIAL ABILITY: TRACKING FOOTSTEPS While inside the Tunnels, The Xenomorph can detect the movement of Survivors walking or running above it within 16 metres of its location, indicated by reddish footsteps spawning on the ceiling. Survivors can avoid being detected by crouching or standing still. SPECIAL STATE: CRAWLER MODE The Xenomorph passively charges Crawler Mode at a rate of +1 c/s when outside of the Tunnels. Once the Power Gauge is full at 35 Charges, it automatically enters it: • Causes The Xenomorph to walk on all fours. • Reduces its Terror Radius to 24 metres. • Grants the ability to perform a Tail Strike Attack. There are only two ways for The Xenomorph to exit this mode: • It picks up and carries a downed Survivor. • It receives too much fire damage from Remote Flame Turrets. SPECIAL ATTACK: TAIL STRIKE While in Crawler Mode, press the Power button to perform a Tail Strike Attack, which has an increased reach of 4.8 metres. SPECIAL ITEM: REMOTE FLAME TURRET Survivors can interact with a Control Station to retrieve up to 4 Remote Flame Turrets in total and deploy them in the environment to counteract The Xenomorph Turrets can also be undeployed, carried to a new location, and be redeployed. While carrying a Turret, Survivors experience the following effects: • Causes them to suffer from a -35 % Hindered Status Effect and the Exhausted and Incapacitated Status Effects. • Grants immunity from being detected by The Xenomorph when it is inside the Tunnels. • Reveals their Aura and that of the Turret to other Survivors. Whenever The Xenomorph comes within 10 metres of a Turret while in Crawler Mode and has Line of Sight with it, the Turret attacks, staggering The Xenomorph and inflicting fire damage, indicated by the Power gauge filling in red. Once the Power gauge is full at 100 Charges, The Xenomorph is stunned and knocked out of Crawler Mode. The Xenomorph can destroy deployed Turrets by attacking them, causing them to return to Control Stations after 60 seconds. Control Stations have a Cool-down of 30 seconds, before another Turret can be retrieved from the same one.
